:00:00. > :00:19.will be free to run again in December. That is in 15 minutes,

:00:20. > :00:27.after the papers. ``Powell is banned. Hello and welcome to our

:00:28. > :00:32.look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With

:00:33. > :00:35.me are Angela Knight,Chief Executive of Energy UK, and John Rentoul,

:00:36. > :00:57.chief political commentator for The Independent on Sunday. Tomorrow's

:00:58. > :01:00.front pages, starting with The Telegraph leading with news that

:01:01. > :01:02.many men, suffering from prostate cancer, are given "misleading"

:01:03. > :01:04.assessments, causing them to underestimate the severity of their

:01:05. > :01:08.tumours. The Express has news of a poll on Europe which it says will

:01:09. > :01:10.amount to a "historic mini referendum" . The Guardian says the

:01:11. > :01:15.Conservative Party and the CPS are "at war" over the Nigel Evans case.

:01:16. > :01:18.In the i, the MP says his life will not be the same following the trial.

:01:19. > :01:21.The Times also says Mr Evans' acquittal has put the spotlight on

:01:22. > :01:26.the CPS and how they choose to pursue high profile cases. Air

:01:27. > :01:29.pollution is the focus of the Metro, the paper says that tens of

:01:30. > :01:33.thousands of deaths come as a direct result of "breathing toxic air" .

:01:34. > :01:36.The Sun says Peaches Gefof was found dead with her 11`month`old son by

:01:37. > :01:43.her side. And the Mail has claims of sexual harassment in the House of

:01:44. > :01:47.Commons. Let's begin, a lot of the newspapers are concentrating on the

:01:48. > :01:50.story about Nigel Evans, of course, the former Deputy Speaker and a

:01:51. > :01:55.clearing in court today. Let's have a look at some of the front pages

:01:56. > :01:58.with Nigel Evans on. It is interesting to see what some of

:01:59. > :02:06.those have to save. The news that Nigel Evans was cleared of rape

:02:07. > :02:16.dominates many of the front pages. This makes the story the main story.

:02:17. > :02:19.The Guardian says the CPS and the Conservatives are at war, that is

:02:20. > :02:31.their quote, as the Evans decision comes out today. Lots of newspapers

:02:32. > :02:38.are leading with that as their main story. John, as the chief political

:02:39. > :02:44.correspondent for the Independent on Sunday, it is a story that has some

:02:45. > :02:48.ramifications. It is what a lot of people are talking about in

:02:49. > :02:52.Westminster today. There are a lot of Conservative MPs who are our

:02:53. > :02:56.friends with Nigel Evans who are quite angry that the case was

:02:57. > :03:06.brought forward in the first place. There was never any evidence that we

:03:07. > :03:11.hurdle was reported that really suggested anything other than some

:03:12. > :03:14.drunken, inappropriate advances that he made and admitted `` that we

:03:15. > :03:18.heard were reported. The alleged victim said that they thought

:03:19. > :03:22.nothing of what happened and nothing should happen to him as a result.

:03:23. > :03:27.One of the things that comes out of this of course, Angela, is that

:03:28. > :03:30.although cleared, it will be a cloud that will hang over him and in his

:03:31. > :03:35.words, his last year has been hell. I am not surprised it has been hell,

:03:36. > :03:41.it must have been awful. Areas of his private life, it has been worked

:03:42. > :03:46.through and combed through in court. He is cleared at the end. People

:03:47. > :03:51.have been watching it, I am not surprised they have, the focus has

:03:52. > :03:54.been on that. There is a particularly telling comment, I

:03:55. > :04:00.think, in the Guardian where it says one of the alleged victims of the

:04:01. > :04:05.trial said, following the verdict, "I do not believe that he should

:04:06. > :04:10.have been charged, I do not think it was a criminal act, it happens in

:04:11. > :04:14.every bar, it was not a big deal". This is an apparent victims saying

:04:15. > :04:20.that this should not have taken place. Poor Nigel. I use that

:04:21. > :04:24.expression advisedly, he must be feeling dreadful now. Even though he

:04:25. > :04:28.has been cleared. It will take a long time for this to work through.

:04:29. > :04:39.It will sit with him for even longer. That quote, that suggestion

:04:40. > :04:41.in the Times that senior Conservatives and the Crown

:04:42. > :04:45.Prosecution Service are at war. What do you think of that? There are

:04:46. > :04:47.Conservative MPs who are very annoyed with that and say that the

:04:48. > :04:53.Crown Prosecution Service should not have brought forward such a weak

:04:54. > :05:00.case, as it appears to be. We do not know the full arguments. It is a

:05:01. > :05:07.huge test of the British principle. Innocent once you are cleared. It

:05:08. > :05:13.will hang over him for the rest of his life. You have to think that

:05:14. > :05:20.there is a case to be made. The Crown Prosecution Service must have

:05:21. > :05:24.misjudged this one. Yes, you are innocent until proven guilty. When

:05:25. > :05:29.it is this sort of case, and it is somebody who is in the public

:05:30. > :05:37.domain, we could call them a celebrity... I am enormously

:05:38. > :05:43.hesitant to come to any conclusions when something like this has

:05:44. > :05:48.happened. I am a strong supporter of the British justice system. I think

:05:49. > :05:52.that ours is overwhelmingly a good system. But it seems to me that in

:05:53. > :05:55.some of these areas, this is just one, but in recent times the very

:05:56. > :06:02.fact that the individual concerned has been a public figure, that has

:06:03. > :06:06.resulted in a high degree of concentration on absolutely every

:06:07. > :06:10.part of the case. In many instances, they seem to have recently been

:06:11. > :06:15.cleared. Everything has been out there, as it would have been if they

:06:16. > :06:20.had been found guilty. Do we have the balance right? Well, there is

:06:21. > :06:23.clearly a difficult line here. You cannot prosecute cases simply

:06:24. > :06:29.because it is a person in the public domain. At the same time, have they

:06:30. > :06:32.done right? From an observer 's perspective, it is difficult to look

:06:33. > :06:40.at this and feel anything other than concern. Let's move onto another

:06:41. > :07:00.story. Onto the express. On EU at last. `` referendum on GE at last.

:07:01. > :07:04.It is absolutely absurd. ``the EU. This is about to MPs, they are

:07:05. > :07:14.headbanging you respect it is, although I hesitate to call them

:07:15. > :07:23.that. ``eUROSCEPTICS. They will organise an informal referendum

:07:24. > :07:34.``Eurosceptics. To headline it as the referendum that was promised by

:07:35. > :07:38.David Cameron... I think this is one of a great many European stories

:07:39. > :07:42.that we will see. Not only because we have a European election in 6`8

:07:43. > :07:52.weeks time. We will see what happens there before you accuse anyone of

:07:53. > :07:57.anything. Let's see who wins. This touches a spot which is something of

:07:58. > :08:02.concern within the UK. What is our position in Europe? When will people

:08:03. > :08:10.have their say? Will we have 20 people vote, 2000 people vote? It is

:08:11. > :08:16.not like it is headline. There is a picture of their Prince William and

:08:17. > :08:21.Kate, they are flying in a German plane? I don't think so!

:08:22. > :08:28.Side`by`side, a sheer accident. Doesn't she looks bended? We do not

:08:29. > :08:37.have a picture of Prince George today `` splendid. I thought they

:08:38. > :08:41.were lovely photographs. I am going to move on before we get stuck on

:08:42. > :08:45.that! Onto the Independent. An official statistic, the UK only has

:08:46. > :08:57.three airports! Have I been miscounting X, `` miscounting? This

:08:58. > :09:00.is about how net immigration has been miscounted over a 10`year

:09:01. > :09:07.period because the survey which it was based on has focused on three

:09:08. > :09:19.main airports. It has missed 350,000 Eastern European is coming into

:09:20. > :09:22.regional airports. ``Europeans. The Labour Party said they would bring

:09:23. > :09:28.in a system of counting people in and out, that will be difficult for

:09:29. > :09:35.the Conservatives to answer. You described it as" uncanny", if this

:09:36. > :09:43.is correct, 350,000... What about Glasgow, Edinburgh, Luton,

:09:44. > :09:49.Birmingham, Southampton? I do not think Ryanair flies from any of the

:09:50. > :09:58.main ones. You cannot have an official statistic that ignores some

:09:59. > :10:03.of the main airports into the UK. `` entry points. You are extrapolating

:10:04. > :10:10.from a sample. The point is they are sampling the wrong places. With the

:10:11. > :10:13.influx of workers from Europe, people are coming into other

:10:14. > :10:17.airports, that was not reflected in the sample. It is not quite as

:10:18. > :10:20.ridiculous as the headline suggests. If you are going to have a sample

:10:21. > :10:24.where you are going to grow something, it has to be

:10:25. > :10:32.representative. It has to be statistically significant. That

:10:33. > :10:39.story appears in subsequent newspapers, that will be

:10:40. > :10:43.interesting, I believe it is a story that will travel. Onto the times. A

:10:44. > :10:51.story carried by the Times on the Daily Telegraph `` and the Daily

:10:52. > :10:57.Telegraph. Thousands of men were wrongly refused treatment for

:10:58. > :11:04.prostate cancer as tests underplayed the severity of the disease. It is a

:11:05. > :11:09.worrying story. You rely on these tests. The procedure, as I

:11:10. > :11:16.understand it, looking at the story quickly, the tests tend to suggest

:11:17. > :11:21.that the cancer is not particularly aggressive. The normal thing to do

:11:22. > :11:32.in that situation is not to operate. They end up not operating on men's

:11:33. > :11:39.cancers who were more aggressive. Sometimes they have been advised

:11:40. > :11:45.against surgery due to the side effects. But, if a diagnosis is

:11:46. > :11:49.wrong...? If you read this story, it is very concerning. You want people

:11:50. > :11:59.to be tested for cancer. There is not that assumption that once you

:12:00. > :12:04.are tested, you have a result that is right `` there is that

:12:05. > :12:08.assumption. More needs to be done. We need more information about the

:12:09. > :12:13.analysis itself. Quite often on medical stories, there is analysis,

:12:14. > :12:18.and then more analysis and then a dispute between experts about what

:12:19. > :12:22.is right and wrong. I hope this does not put men off getting tested for

:12:23. > :12:26.cancer. We do not often make it onto the business pages, but there are

:12:27. > :12:36.some interesting stories. Let's begin with the Co`op bank and the

:12:37. > :12:41.Co`op group. Angela, care to have a stab at this one? This story is

:12:42. > :12:46.about the fact there is more losses than have so far been revealed as

:12:47. > :12:50.far as the Co`op is concerned. On the back of this, there is the

:12:51. > :12:54.question of how this organisation is run in the future. A few weeks ago,

:12:55. > :13:01.the chief executive was brought in to sort out the problems, but he

:13:02. > :13:06.walked. He described it as" ungovernable". In the last 24 hours,

:13:07. > :13:16.one of the independent directors who was brought in to sort out issues

:13:17. > :13:21.has walked, Lord Myners. Tomorrow, it seems we will have revealed to us

:13:22. > :13:24.what was expected, and that is more losses. It is an integral part of so

:13:25. > :13:32.many towns and cities of this country. Getting the Co`op back on

:13:33. > :13:37.course in financial terms, in its management terms, strategic

:13:38. > :13:47.direction, and how it has a ball that can run the organisation is

:13:48. > :14:00.pretty important dashboard. `` is pretty important, `` board. There

:14:01. > :14:04.are questions about how you do the government reorganisation.

:14:05. > :14:08.Underneath, there are a lot of companies like this with their own

:14:09. > :14:12.independence, and they have a say on how the big organisation is run.

:14:13. > :14:19.Some sectors are doing very well? Yes, they are our largest

:14:20. > :14:24.undertaken. I don't know if you have been into a Co`op story in it, but

:14:25. > :14:31.some are pretty good. The ones that I have been to are, at least. I

:14:32. > :14:36.thought you were going to say a funeral parlour! Yes, I have been to

:14:37. > :14:40.one of those as well. There is something about getting this whole

:14:41. > :14:51.enchilada correct. Sorting out the bank, and ensuring it is well

:14:52. > :14:58.managed. It is a mess. It seems to be in a bad way. I am no expert,

:14:59. > :15:03.Angela is an expert. But, it sounds to me like the Co`op bank is not

:15:04. > :15:15.much longer for this world. And the rest of the movement will have to

:15:16. > :15:20.find some way... Of sustaining it. Members often vote on mutual future.

:15:21. > :15:27.These are a lot of questions. I probably should address the new

:15:28. > :15:32.question to you. Marks Spencer. The picture to go with this story,

:15:33. > :15:37.their new brand of women, as it were, who aren't really professional

:15:38. > :15:41.models. Interesting this is all to try to suggest that the Chief

:15:42. > :15:48.Executive, that the strategy is working. Yes. I think it's a nice

:15:49. > :15:52.idea, to have a range of non` models modelling the clothes. The Marks

:15:53. > :16:01.Spencer range is actually rather good. This is Marks Spencer is.

:16:02. > :16:07.I'm offended because this advert isn't directed me. I am dressed

:16:08. > :16:10.entirely in Marks Spencer is! But I think the number of times you buy

:16:11. > :16:16.a suit is probably much less than the times I buy a jacket. I too have

:16:17. > :16:20.quite a lot of Marks Spencer clothing on but I won't show you

:16:21. > :16:25.where it is! We don't often get that out of the paper review! I don't

:16:26. > :16:32.know where to take it now. Well, the clothing sales are up. Absolutely.

:16:33. > :16:37.Anything you would like to own up to? I think I am being told we have

:16:38. > :16:55.to finish. Thank you both very much. Revelations indeed. Stay with us. At

:16:56. > :17:01.midnight, more on the news that a man has been charged over the 1998

:17:02. > :17:14.Omagh bombing. Coming up next, time for the sport.

:17:15. > :17:20.Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Hugh Ferris. Day one of the Masters

:17:21. > :17:23.and it's almost like a year hasn't passed. Defending champion Adam

:17:24. > :17:29.Scott is right in the hunt again at Augusta. Banned for 18 months but

:17:30. > :17:30.back by December. Asafa Powell calls his backdated doping suspension

:17:31. > :17:32.unfair and
